FROM SALIM ALI 2012

"I'm a Tanzanian fashion designer designer based in
Dar-es-salaam, My whole life has been involved in the fashion industry for a
couple of years now, i love art in different forms,
music,fashion,dance, and etc, i was inspired to join the industry
after seeing the amount of potentials our country has, and the rise of
more African designers so i decided to put in my touch so as to add
more flavour  in the industry.
I am happy and proud to have released four collections since i
started, which is a very big achievement for me as a young man, my
last collection “MNG’AO” was a success because the response i got from
people was great, though it’s hard work but it still kept me going and
managed to come up with another collection this year known as “Brown
Sugar” which i managed to showcase at the Swahili fashion week
festival which  happened on the 6th of December to 8th.  Brown sugar
stands for the  proud African brown skin which stands for hard work,
resilience, happiness and success,  embracing the African style and
charm.
Thanks to the almighty Allah i have managed to achieve a couple of
things this year, by dressing up alot of  big names in the industry,
either for their shows, or video roles . Very happy to have received
an award as the best upcoming Brown sugar stands for the  proud
African brown skin which stands for hard work, resilience, happiness
and success,  embracing the African style and charm.
esigner  of the year in the lady in red  Fashion show , with that it
was more like a platform for me to step up my game and work harder so
as to achieve more in life.  INSHALLAH"
